Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night – Kickstarter update: Miriam in Motion

In the past few months, the development team of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night have posted quite a lot of Kickstarter updates, but this one is most likely the most exciting one for players who want to see something in motion. Indeed, this time around, there’s a video of Miriam running and jumping around to discover!

More precisely, the video shows Miriam moving around a “grid map”, which is used by the development team to playtest the game before the stages are ready.

Here’s what Iga himself had to say about this video:

Hi, everyone! This month we’d like to show you something that few people outside the development team ever get to see: A work-in-progress “grid” map that we’re using to test stage size, scrolling mechanics, enemy placement, and more. I’ve provided some narration to make it easier to see where we’re making progress.

We’re also revealing the katana animation. To provide our animators a reference for the motion, the team filmed me swinging an umbrella. Days after the video shoot I still had some muscle pain, but let’s please keep that between us…

Here’s the video:
